AHIT or ICA

I plan on getting my pre-exam training online. Due to the lack of classes in my area. I also plan to shadow a home inspector during my online training. (If I can find one that is willing... I may have to pay) I see lots of benefit in hands on training. Here is the question.

Does anyone know or have experience with the following training programs?
One is double the price but both seem comparative...

I have talked with some Realtors and local home inspectors and they say that the market is not over saturated. This will be a part time job for me as I enjoy my full time work but would like to add extra income to my family. I also think I will enjoy home inspecting.

Thank for any help and advice you might offer.

Have you looked at the expense in just doing inspections part-time? MS has mandated E&O and GL insurance… This alone for a new inspector can be kind of expensive. You might want to check on what it will cost if you have not already done so.

Yes, I have checked on the cost of operation. This will just require some planning on my part. Im ok with taking the risk.

I have read lots of posts on this forum and knew this question would cause people to warn be about the business. Thanks for your concerns.

Has anyone taken online classes for training? I want the best for my money and time.
